Flashback

Nya's Pov

I was fighting Harumi when I glanced around, everyone was in the same state I was... victory. Harumi was holding back. I smiled as my eyes fell on my little blue bird. I held back a scream as I watched Lloyd strike him down. I focused back on fighting Harumi. 'He is a capable ninja. He doesn't need your help' I comforted myself. "Nya, I can't do this anymore..." Harumi said as her red makeup smeared as a tear fell down her cheek. My eyes widened. "What do you mean?" I asked as I faked a swing at her head. 'I can't let my guard down, or let them realize I'm not fighting' I thought as she weakly swiped at me. "Lloyd... he's being so cruel.. Nya.." She said quietly as she gestured to him. I looked over and watched as he stood up revealing Jay lying on the ground... lifeless. I fell to the ground as Harumi caught me. "I'm so so sorry" she said her eyes filled with tears. It took me a few seconds to process what was happening. Kai sprinted towards me thinking I was hurt. Boy was he right. I couldn't talk so I simply motioned towards Lloyd; who was walking out with Garmadon and his minions. Harumi stayed behind, I don't think she was very happy with her boyfriend. Cole and Zane rushed to check Jay's vitals. I stayed put while Kai and Harumi tried to convince me to get up. 'He's gone. The love of my life, gone.' I thought as I finally got up to go and see him. There he was, laying with his stupid smirk his eyes were closed and he looked peaceful. It was the only time I had saw Jay be calm and quiet... I hated it. "We can save him!" I exclaimed as I fell to my knees beside him. 


Kai's Pov

I watched as Nya went hysterical. She was clutching Jay to her chest as she attempted to give him CPR. My heart wrenched as we all looked at each other, he was gone. I slowly tried to pry Nya away from Jay's body. 'This can't be real' I thought as I held in my emotions. I felt like I was going to throw up, and cry. Jay was one of my best friends and I had hoped one day my brother in law. 'Lloyd you were my best friend, but you've gone too far.I will be getting revenge.'

We had done the hard part, loading Jay into one of our cars. Lloyd won the battle, but we'd win the war. 'I can't believe he actually killed someone.' I thought as I shook my head watching the dark sky past. I didn't know who to trust. Harumi had requested to come with us... I believed she was truly sorry for the outcome of our fight. I wouldn't open our home to her immediately, but at this point none of us wanted to fight. We drove a bit further as we approached the bounty and all its glory. I looked at the dark silhouette of the bounty as it was illuminated with lightning. I smiled. 'Jay you are here with us.' I thought bittersweetly. 

Present Time

Lloyd's Pov

Harumi had left. It had been two weeks and there was no sign of the ninja. The rest of my group was growing restless. My attire had changed, you could say like I did. I didn't regret my choices... just the way I chose to execute them. "Master, if you don't mind me asking, why do you wear red gloves now?" Mr. E asked. I turned around from my balcony. I smiled internally. "I wear them to hide the blood that is stained on my hands" I answered grimly. I didn't feel remorse anymore. I wasn't allowed to feel anything. "Lloyd, feelings make you weak" My father had told me. He was the king of ninjago, with me by his side. "Oh, that's smart sir" Mr. E answered as he awkwardly walked away. It had been storming ever since that day. I watched a lightning struck another building in the distance. I couldn't keep a small smile from growing on my face. "Ultra violet, release the master of amber" I ordered as I watched another storm roll in. "Sir, are you sure? We are in the lead" Ultra Violet reminded. I smiled. "Let her go, it'll make things more interesting" I ordered with more urgency. She nodded quickly. "As you wish" She said running off. 

Nya's Pov

One week passed, then two, and now we were approaching three weeks. I hadn't left my room leaving the others to have to force me to eat. Harumi was staying in my room, she was grieving too. Apparently she had grown close to Lloyd, almost to the point of dating. 'I had hoped one day Jay and I would join as one' I smiled at the thought. The happiness soon turned back to utter pain. 'I will never see his face again' I thought as tears dampened my pillow. Harumi came in and noticed my current state. I was the tough water ninja, I didn't want people to see my weakness... but now I didn't care, I just wanted my Jay back. "Hey, Nya..." Harumi said sitting beside me. I wiped my eyes on my sleeve as I forced a smile. Harumi handed me a plate as I eyed the small sandwich. "Is it that time already?" I teased as I grabbed the sandwich. "How are you feeling?" Harumi asked as I forced a bite of sandwich down my throat. 'Awful, Depressed, Dead inside' I thought. "I've been better" I answered half-heartedly. 

Kai's Pov

We needed to get to work. Jay's funeral had been awful, everyone wore blue to try and bring joy in celebrating his life. It only brought tears. Zane had put a collage of all of Jay's best moments that he had recorded, I hated to be sappy but it was beautiful. I was learning from this experience. Learning how much I hated the Garmadons. Misako was still staying nearby and offered to help us stop the rest of her family... but I didn't know if I could trust her. "Kai!" I heard someone exclaim as they tackled me to the ground. I looked at the red head who was lying on top of me blushing. "Skylor!" I exclaimed wrapping her into a hug... problem was I didn't know my own strength and ended up pulling her into a kiss. I widened my eyes as neither of us pulled away. 'This is so nice' I thought as I melted into the kiss. The sweet moment could've gone on forever, but sadly it didn't. "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to! We can pretend that never happened!" I blurted out. I was afraid she would get mad and leave. Skylor smirked at me. "Why pretend it didn't happen?" She asked before I could answer she rolled her eyes pulling me into another kiss. This one lasted a bit longer you could say.
